Noooooooooooo! Not Number 4?!?!?!?!?

Quarks only offices are in korea now.So cs can be a hassle.I use a Quark 80b modded for heat and extra caps and it does alright with a Medusa 2000,but I can overheat it in about 10 minutes if I'm not careful.

we want a 6 cell controller that's it...not a thing that we have to ship each week

[BrianG]

And even when Quark had a US office, they only work reliably up to 5s. 6s is iffy, some people can get them to work, some can't, and some will work if some of the voltage is bled a little below the 4.2v of a fresh cell.

i havent lost faith in castle, but im waiting for the recall notice... even though mine is dead

it would be nice if castle would keep us up to date and maybe even be honest with us as to why there are so many failures

This is a ridiculous statement.

Whatever on the flaming of the MGMs. They are great controllers and really only lack the nice firmware the CC escs do. Ive had mine for over a year and I've never had a hardware issue with it, never overheated, and always got good replies on emails. I recently send it to CZ for the big v3.2x update. Total turnaround time was 3wks, and that's with them going on vacation. They also re-applied new waterproofing and heatshrink so it looks brand new.

Its a pita they are in CZ, but their service is still quite good as far as RC stuff goes. Most things are if it breaks, you are SOL.

I have a MMM with a few packs on it, but the rate at which they are dying makes me keep my mgm around. Still not sure if I like more anyway. I need to run it now w/ the update. I've never seen the rash of failures with any other esc we've had around here (and they all have had their moments)

I think everyone should relax a bit here. There's no need to throw flames at each other based on one general frustration: MMM's have experienced a high failure rate.

Each person that put $$ down for a MMM has a right to expect it to function. At the same time, I'm sure Patrick and company have multiple head-aches trying to resolve these failures and get the product they wanted to produce in the first place.

V2's were shipped out to all who had a failed V1 first..and there will presumably be a V3 that further address the problems many are experiencing now with V2's. I am happy that Castle is actively working on a solution and should my ESC fail once I install it, I will provide as much helpful information as I can as to why it failed and leave it at that.

I had an ESC from another company that burned up under normal operating conditions. I was told by that company to send it in for a replacement and have not heard from them since. It's like they didn't care at all once they had my money already. I felt taken advantage of, and will never buy a product from that company again. As long as Castle is willing to try to correct their mistakes I can't say anything negative about them, at least we have that option..

I don't mean to offend anyone, just trying to lighten up the mood here..

I bet Patrick does not want to go into the office tomorrow, id call in sick

[e-mike]

of curse we cannot put all the blame on cc but its prety hard to not do that ...however v1 was the bec and the also the v2,,,, cc should have resolved this issue before release the v2!!???two version but the same problem...

this is the world of electronic....

Dude you keep buying mmm's WTF...just kidding listen everything gonna be ok. Brushless power is ten times better than nitro, your just using the wrong control that's all...give the mamba monster another six months or so and they will have the bugs worked out in the mean time grab a different esc its that simple, also I think something might be really wrong other than the esc but I could be wrong...breath in breath out...woo sa woo sa.

David lamontagn, are you for real dog? mgm does make a 6s control and it is twice the price but it is not the same thing at all and it does not fail as much. The build quality is twice that of the mmm...twice the fets come on man do a little research.

Do you want i send you my MGM 16018?????? I know they have twice the FET on it, and when it catch fire, the twice of FET make a twice bigger fire, believe me.
MGM are twice the price of the MMM and for any reason mine catch fire.

So don't try to tell me that MGM worth the $$$ over any other controler. SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm kind of glad i stuck with my Quark's, i have three (1 80 amp and 2 125amp, no mods) all run cool and aggravation free. I understand the problems with wanting a quality esc, But you need to see most thing now-a-days are disposable. For castle to find replacable, quality components is tough, I'm beginning to wonder if this is the problem, low quality disposable parts. I understand its not castle's fault, I can imagine the scramble trying to make this right

Yeah but on the same note,my Quark 80 is doing fine,and my mm is sitting there waiting for replacement,has been for a month,and they aren't supposed to have more till next week.Every controller can fail,no doubt.
